HARNESSING POWER THROUGH ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION UTILIZING PRINTED COILS
First Claim
1. A system for harnessing power through electromagnetic induction, the system comprising:
- a first circuit board comprising;
a plurality of layers comprising a first layer and a second layer adjacent to the first layer;
a plurality of printed coils comprising a first coil printed on the first layer and a second coil printed on the second layer; and
a first via between the first layer and the second layer, the first via operative to electrically couple the first coil with the second coil; and
at least one magnet adjacent to the first circuit board and operative to move alongside the plurality of printed coils to generate an electromotive force across the plurality of printed coils.

Abstract
Systems for harnessing power through electromagnetic induction utilizing printed coils are provided. A system can include one or more moveable magnets adjacent to printed coils on a circuit. For example, a system can include one or more magnets that are operative to move alongside a circuit board that includes printed coils. The one or more magnets may move, for example, when a user shakes the system or when the user walks or runs while holding the device. The movement of the one or more magnets may create an electromotive force (e.g., a voltage) across the printed coils, and this force may be used to generate electric power.
